How do you calculate initial velocity given only the initial position and the scale of the horizontal and vertical axes?
Witoverignorance
We suspect that you're also given a line on the graph. If so, then the initial speed
is the slope of the line at the initial position. To get the real slope of the line, you
need to know the scales of the axes. If the scales aren't the same, then the real
slope of the line isn't what it looks like, and has to be calculated by measuring its
progress along both axes just after the initial position.

Calculate resultant velocity?
First you have to resolve all forces into vertical and horizontal. If it on a slope take the reaction force as vertical and the slope as horizontal. Then equate the opposite forces, for example the friction and the driving force, and use maths to figure out the resultant.
How do you fix the position of a point on a sheet of map?
You can do this by using a two coordinate designation of that position: horizontal and vertical.
Is the san Andreas fault horizontal or vertical?
Vertical and horizontal
A ball of mass m rolls off a cliff of height h with a horizontal velocity v it reaches the ground with vertical speed of?
If one assumes air resistance to be negligible, then: final velocity = sqrt( g * 2 * h ) where g is 9.8 metres per second per second. The quantities v and m do not matter, because gravitational acceleration does not depend on mass (all objects fall at the same rate) and because the horizontal velocity is independent of the vertical velocity.
Do the prime meridian run vertical or horizontal?
vertical
Does horizontal velocity effect the rate of vertical velocity?
No, horizontal velocity and vertical velocity are independent and have no effect on each other.
Why are high capacity pumps usually in a vertical position rather than a horizontal position?
This is not always true. High velocity pumps can be found in horizontal configurations too. It all depends on the application (sometimes the manufacturer) whether it will be a horizontal of vertical pump.
A banana is thrown straight out so it has both horizontal and vertical velocity After 1 second, what is its vertical velocity?
9.8
How do you find vertical and horizontal components when given the initial velocity?
If the initial velocity is v, at an angle x to the horizontal, then the vertical component is v*sin(x) and the horizontal component is v*cos(x).
Calculate resultant velocity?
First you have to resolve all forces into vertical and horizontal. If it on a slope take the reaction force as vertical and the slope as horizontal. Then equate the opposite forces, for example the friction and the driving force, and use maths to figure out the resultant.
A player kicks a soccer ball from ground level and sends it flying at an angle of 30 degrees?

What dose it mean to say a projectiles horizontal and vertical velocity are independent or each other?
For practical purposes, it means that you can calculate them independent of one another.
How is the horizontal component of velocity for a projectile affected by the vertical component?
The horizontal component of velocity for a projectile is not affected by the vertical component at all. Horizontal component is measured as xcos(theta) Vertical component is measured as xsin(theta) Whereas theta is the angle, and x is the magnitude, or initial speed.
How are vertical and horizontal definrd?
Vertical is defined as the direction or position that is perpendicular to the plane. Horizontal is defined as to be parallel to the horizon.
What is the motion of objects moving in two dimensions under the influence of gravity a. horizontal velocity b. directrix c. vertical velocity d. projectile motion?
horizontal velocity
An aeroplane flying at a constant velocity releases a bomb. As the bomb drops down from the aeroplane what will be the position of the bomb with respect to the plane?
There are two forces on the bomb when it is dropped; horizontal, and vertical. The vertical force is gravity, and the horizontal force is the velocity of the plane when the bomb is dropped. In order to determine how far away the bomb will drop from the initial point of release, it is necessary to know the height that the plane is at, and the velocity of the plane, which is also the initial horizontal velocity of the bomb (it is constant, neglecting air resistence.)
Why at the highest point is the change in velocity zero?
Note - the vertical velocity is zero ... there may be considerable horizontal velocity. And vertical velocity is zero because the object is going neither up nor down.
